MONILIACEAE 



201 



Family 85. MONILIACEAE 



Hyphae hyaline or bright-colored, loose and cottony, rarely fasciculate; sterile 

 and fertile hyphae or conidiophores both present as a rule, the latter differentiated 

 by means of vesicles, whorls, basidia, sterigmata, etc.; conidia concolorous, i. e., 

 hyaline or bright-colored. 



Hyalosporae 



4:2, 10:510, 11:586, 14:1037, 16:1023, 18:495, 22:1238 

 Conidia 1-ccllcd, hyaline or bright-colored, globose to ovoid or cylindric 



Micronemeac 



Hyphae very short or obsolete, or little dififercnt from the conidia 



A. Conidia catenate 



1. Saprogenous 



a. Conidia endogenous, chains arising in the 



hyphae 



(1) Conidial branches dichotomous, not arcu- 



ate 



(2) Conidial branches simple, arcuate 



b. Conidia exogenous, arising on the hyphae 



(1) Conidia globose, elliptic or fusiform 



(a) Hyphae short, simple or nearly so 

 X. Conidia globose or suboblong 

 y. Conidia fusiform, acute each way 



(b) Hyphae longer, distinctly ramose 



(2) Conidia cuboid or bacillar 



(a) Hyphae distinct, often ramose 

 X. Conidia cuboid 

 y. Conidia bacillar or cylindric 



(b) Hyphae nearly obsolete; conidia bacillar 



2. Biogenous 



a. Mycelium endogenous, hyphae escaping 



through the stomata 



b. Mycelium on the surface of leaves or other 



parts 



(1) Conidia globose, connected by isthmi 



(2) Conidia ovoid to elliptic, without isthmi 

 B. Conidia not catenate 



1. Conidia capitate; hyphae obsolescent or lack- 



ing; biophilous 



2. Conidia not capitate, usually solitary 



a. Saprogenous 



(1) Conidia globose to ellipsoid, separate 



(2) Conidia fusoid-falcate, variously united by 



twos or threes 



b. Biogenous
